OK so I have solved the issue. The motherboard I am using is quite old - intel 1st gen i5-760 is running on it. I thought maybe it could have been some interference or same-trace nonsense, so I plugged my headset into the front panel USB. It works now.

Corsair HS70 Wireless Some cheapo USB microphone When USB microphone in and working, headset set as default device, and selected, the playback comes through HDMI. When I disable HDMI it is just silence. Whichever device I plug in first is the one that works, and will guarantee that the other one does not work. How do I stop this from happening? I simply want to have playback through my headset while I talk through the mic.

"Some other solution involving PME or some other common BIOS setting" how do I get power on by mouse/keyboard to work?

It's for my mum. I want everyone to stop focusing on physical solutions. I asked specifically for one of 3 solutions, none of which involved the batteries of the mouse.

I would prefer something a bit less crude. I dont want to have to take the mouse apart all the time.

No switch on the mouse

I have an HTPC. I want to be able to turn it on from the wireless keyboard/mouse combo. I originally had an lga775 motherboard but I couldnt get anything to work with that, which is apparently because lga775 doesnt support it. I have now just bought a ddr3 motherboard, which has a few different BIOS options - power on by keyboard, power on by mouse, USB wake from S3, and PME event wake up. I can't get "power on by X" to work. I saw some people saying it is a windows 10 issue and that windows 7 works, but I dont know if that is true or not. The wake from S3 option works BUT because of the keyboard and mouse going through the same USB, it can't differentiate the two. If either is set to enable wake in device manager, both will cause it to wake, which means any slight mouse movement wakes the PC up. I need any one of the following solutions: Get power on by mouse/keyboard to work with my wireless keyboard/mouse combo Get the USB to differentiate between mouse and keyboard such that the mouse cannot wake the system from S3 Some other solution involving PME or some other common BIOS setting Thanks

are you changing settings in nvidia control panel, or in windows?

having some weird issues with my keyboard. sometimes specific keys work and sometimes they don't. at one point my shift button seemed to work 4 to 7 times in a row, and then it would not work 4 to 7 times in a row. My function key is not working at all, which is very frustrating. my 8 and 9 keys work perfectly fine sometimes, but then they don't work at all later. very confusing. My laptop is Acer Aspire S. any idea where to even start with this one?

I replied to Kanna referring to discord attenuation setting

Please read the like 5 other comments in this thread. I have said attenuation is at 0%.

it does this in everything. I want it to stop lowering on youtube videos, but even when I use discord on the browser, it still lowers volume for youtube on the same browser.

Yea that's the attenuation setting, which I have set to 0%.

I have Realtek High Definition Audio driver version 10.0.19041.1

I have tried the discord support forums, but it doesn't seem that they have any real humans answering anybody's questions. I want discord to stop reducing the volume of everything else on my PC. I have tried setting attenuation to 0, setting the 'do nothing' setting in communications in sound settings, disallowing individual applications to take exclusive control of my speaker, I have made sure my windows 10 is up to date, and I have reinstalled the sound driver, and the discor app. This issue also accurs on the desktop version so I am guessing it is likey something to do with windows settings, but I'm not sure. It is absurd that this 'feature' is so hard to get rid of.

I have cracked the touch digitiser on my HP laptop 15-ae146tx and I was wondering if I bought a digitiser for an envy 360 or an m6 or whatever, whether it will work. They look pretty similar, so I can't find a reason why it wouldn't. The LCD is fine and doesn't need replacing. Please don't comment 'you might not be able to fit it'. I want you to answer just the question I am asking. Thanks. Does it make any difference if the digitiser is for a laptop with an LCD of different resolution?

read the question again

I have just built an HTPC from second hand parts for around $110nzd The system contains a 7970, a 128gb SSD, 8gb of pc2-6400u, and a 2.93MHz core2 duo. I have noticed that many console ports work fine, especially codemasters games, but games like project cars fail to run. I want to play gta V, and it works fine at 720p with lowest settings, but looks pretty shotty. I want to know what settings I can increase in GTA or other games that will not cause much usage on the CPU. edit: I didnt know Steam was frozen in the background and was using 90% of my cpu while I was testing gta. I will have to test it again later.

I usually run a ps/2 optical mouse from my mouse ps/2 port, but after plugging in a trackball mouse, the PC refuses to boot. I have tried the mouse in a different computer, and it works fine. I have tried the mouse in the other ps/2 port, but it doesn't work in that either. I think I need the drivers for it, but I will need some kind of aftermarket one, because it will be literally impossible to get them for my motherboard.

core 2 duo e7500, SSD, a TV card, an optical drive, and 8gb ddr2. http://powersupplycalculator.net/ says that 409W is recommended if you call my ga-965P-DS3 a standard mobo, but 450 if you call it a high-end one.

I said 1.x, not 1x. Do you know if the 400W is enough? Coolermaster's calculator recommends 500W for the whole system, but I heard that they overestimate a lot.

I am thinking of buying a cheap 7970 second-hand. The TDP is <225W. I know that pci 1.x gives 75 watts, and an 8 pin connector gives 150 watts. adding that up gives 225 watts. I want to know if the 6+2 pin connector is exactly equivalent to an 8pin in terms of wattage, and if having 225W to a 225W tdp card is safe or risking it. I can buy a molex to 6-pin if it is necessary, I just don't know if it is necessary. My PSU is an FSP 400W 80plus Silver. Do you think this is sufficient?

Sorry I forgot to reply to this thread. @everyone, Windows 10 keeps the product key on the cloud based on the hardware ID of the system. I reinstalled from USB as a fresh install and it was activated automatically. I believe the same is for windows 7 too.

Can someone tell me how to log in to windows if there are no administrator accounts on the system? Or how to do anything? Why would it even allow anyone to reset windows without any administrator accounts?

It says there are no administrator accounts on this computer. Is there a default sign in or something that it is asking for?
